A minute’s silence will be held across Lincolnshire today to remember those who died and were injured in Monday’s terror attack in Manchester.

The whole of the UK will come to a standstill at 11am today to pay tribute to those affected.

Some 22 people, including an eight-year-old girl, have died and around 120 people are suffering injuries.

Organisations and locations across Lincolnshire will observe the silence this morning and flags remain at half mast at a number of city landmarks.

Suicide bomber Salmon Abedi struck at an Ariana Grande concert on Monday, May 22, in the foyer of Manchester Arena.

The UK’s threat level has been raised to ‘critical’ for the first time in 10 years, with thousands of armed officers on patrol in the streets around the country in preparation of any further attacks.

Pairs of armed police officers are now patrolling in Lincoln and Skegness to reassure those living and visiting the area.
